With a client list including No. 11 Downing Street, the London Dungeon and Tower Bridge, Camden Garden Centre must be doing something right in the Christmas tree stakes. Whether you want a simple tabletop sapling or a five-metre giant, this North London spot is definitely the place to visit. Expert staff are on hand to answer your Christmas tree-related queries while all the specimens are nicely displayed and can be trimmed and netted to facilitate transportation back to your home. Types of tree include the traditional Norway Spruce, the guaranteed needle-holding Nordmann and Noble Firs, and the new compact Fraser Fir variety. Pot-grown trees are also available, as is a delivery service throughout London. While you're at it, make it a clean Christmas sweep with the wide selection of wreaths, holly and mistletoe on offer. Open from the end of November - but don't leave it too late because trees often run out well before Christmas Eve.

Whether you're looking to populate a garden, roof terrace or window box (this is London, after all) with pretty blooms or more hard-wearing plants, Camden Garden Centre is filled with everything you need to acquire Alan Titchmarsh's green-fingered touch. There's also a huge selection of pots in all shapes, sizes and styles and a range of garden furniture and barbecues to transform your outdoors into a place where you'll want to spend time rather than just admire from a distance.
